A photographic exhibition of people who work in comedy clubs who are not comedians as part of the Glasgow Comedy Festival 2013.

You Must Love Working Here is a photographic exhibition featuring people who work in comedy clubs who are not comedians.

The work will be exhibited during the 2013 Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

Andrew, who is a stand-up comic and freelance journalist, had the idea of a project made up of photography and interviews that focussed on people in comedy clubs who were not comedians.

He asked me to be involved as the photographer as a great deal of my portfolio is made up of portraits and promos for stand-up comedians, and I worked in The Stand (not as a comedian) for over five years.

We concentrated on Glasgow-based comedy venues ranging from all-year round clubs such as The Stand to large tour venues such as the SECC and function rooms like The Bungo.

We had 10 participants, myself included, who we interviewed and simultaneously photographed. And I asked them to encapsulate all of their emotions towards working in a comedy club into one expression for me to capture. So often do people visiting comedy clubs come out with the statement: "You Must Love Working Here", now I was doing the same.

The interviews and click clicks of the camera were broadcast on the Comedy Cafe with Janice Forsyth as a radio package produced by Andrew on 14th December 2012 (which can be heard on the video above). Now we want to show you the pictures to go along with it...

Please support our exhibition. Everyone who donates £3 or more will have their name appear on our supporting backers list alongside the exhibition. And we have heaps of other rewards to make supporting us worth your while too.

If this is a success, Andrew and I intend to continue collaborating on stories and behind-the-scenes ventures, we may even expand this project and speak to people who work at this year's Fringe. To keep up to date with our next ventures follow us on Twitter: @andrewlearmonth and @jessmcfilm

Jessica McDermott Glasgow, United Kingdom18th February 02:00Here's how the bumper prize works: if you make a pledge of 3 pounds or more and guess correctly at how many people it will take to reach the target of £500 you will win: a signed photo of Kevin Bridges, a pair of tickets to a GSR show at The Bungo in Glasgow, a box of Chocolates from CC&T Coffee Chocolate and Tea, one of my prints and pair of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid earrings.
Remember we need to hit £500 to win so pledge, guess at a number here (you can only guess once and not a number already guessed at), then get sharing so we reach our target and you can hopefully win the bumper prize!

And to clarify for future guessers that would be 27 backers in total. (So that guess is now off the table)

Jessica McDermott Glasgow, United Kingdom15th February 04:11Introducing the bumper prize! For anyone who has pledged 3 pounds or more you can guess at how many backers it will take to get to our target of 500 pounds to be in with a chance to win an additional bumper prize on top of your chosen reward. Prizes so far include a pair of tickets to the GSR show at the Bungo, one of my photographic prints (which one will be negotiated with the winner), and a box of chocolates from CC&T Coffee Chocolate and Tea in Glasgow, and there are more prizes to come. To enter just comment here with your guess - you only get 1 guess and no two people can guess at the same number, so you need to get in there first. The bumper prize as with all the rewards is dependent on us hitting our target - so please pledge, take your guess, and then get telling your friends! Good luck!
